 In the newest Super Street I was roaming through the SEMA show section and all the new products that were featured.

5Axis along with Hotchkis developed a complete suspension kit for the tC. It looks pretty sick but there is no information on it!!!

I have contacted 5Axis asking for all the details but it is taking them some time to get back to me.

Anybody heard anything about the full details and spec on this suspension kit? Pricing? Availability?

 havent heard anything, but curious to see what they come out with and the rediculous price tag that comes along with it.

So what if my girlfriend drives a Supra, I'm sexier than she is! No... I'm not...

 uhh.. FIVEAxis isn't a suspension company...

:???? i haven't heard anything from Troy lately.. but i mean.. he usually just uses whatever's out there and if not, makes his own... but as far as suspension?

if there's anything custom made for him... I can't see it being for sale anytime.... if any... soon.

 I have recieved no replies from 5Axis. I am now trying to contact Hotchkis about this suspension package. I will let everyone know any information I get.

 It just seems to me that SEMA is just like CES, they show you all the pretty stuff to drool over and when you want to buy it you always get the "it's not in production yet or it's still in development" answer. I just feel that if they are showing it off to the domestic market, it should be for sale. I know my opinions worth about a hand full of dog crap but there you go.

 I wonder whats suppose to be in this suspension kit. Because Hotchkis already has the springs front/rear sway package.

 ^^ exactly.. with the tC being as out this long.. there's plenty of suspension options..

Hotchki's making something completely new at this point in time doesn't make any sense..

that is unless it's for someone like perhaps Troy for a custom project... (which then would cost ya moooola)

Well if you check out the new Super Street you will see what the suspension package is. It is pretty much the TVS Stage 1 Hotchkis suspension package but more. The components though look a little different.

First impression shows that it consists of front/rear sway bars, lowering springs, camber kit for front, and front strut bar.

I am curious what is different between the common already produced by Hotchkis components of the kit and some of the new parts like the strut bar.

 I got a real "brief" reply from Hotchkis. They stated that the components seen in the kit the currently offer are the same. The 5Axis displayed components are only a different color orange rather than the traditional black. That is all I got from them.

I still am curious about the camber arms and strut bar though....

 Sounds like it will be for the autocrosser. The strut bar will likely be the Hotchkis (TRD). The camber kit might not be necessary unless the person wants to autocross and adjust camber.

But its interesting that they are deciding to package all these things. Alot of other companies dont package their suspension parts; like TRD (no suprise) and Progress.
